I Survived My Father’s Test And Took His Throne Chapter 07
The room was covered in blood.
The floor, the bedside, the white curtains—everywhere was stained dark.
My father summoned Greta, whom he had left to watch over me, and demanded to know where I was.
The moment Greta saw the scene, all color drained from her face.
“Where is she?” My father’s voice shook. “I ordered you to guard Princess Laurel and summon a healer. Is this how you carry out my orders?”
Only then did Greta realize who the masked man was.
She dropped to her knees and began to stammer.
“Your Majesty, Princess Evelyn suddenly fainted last night, and all the on-duty healers were called away. I thought Laurel had always been in good health, so I planned to deal with it after daybreak…”
“She’s been suppressed by wolfsbane for three years, and you call that good health?”
My father kicked her aside and immediately ordered the Royal Guard to lock down the castle and find me.
The security staff found bloody footprints outside the room.
They followed them through the wing, located the maintenance passage, and found a forced-entry record on the flood-control door.
